Looking for a small-business mentor, preferably with dog-grooming salon experience.
Anywhere in the world1,080 views
I'm launching a dog-grooming salon in Lagos next November. I have saved the start-up funds myself, but I have never run a business before. I've questions about pricing, suppliers, simple bookkeeping, hiring and - frankly - how not to burn out.
I'm looking for a mentor with real small-business experience, ideally in a dog-grooming salon, willing to have a monthly call for the first six months. I'll bring a list of questions and my numbers.
If you have a few hours a month, and enjoy helping someone avoid the mistakes you made, I'd really appreciate it.
Thank you for reading my story.

Wishing you peace. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 30 people at work.
Sending love, Chioma. Hope the shop reopens soon. After 11 years in accounting I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Love from Duque de Caxias
Best of luck. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Pokhara so I could bring a meal. God bless
I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this, Chioma. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
Take care, Chioma. Small businesses are the heart of Lagos. Hope you're open again soon. Love from Iztapalapa.
hang in there. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Take care.

thinking of you. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care
I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Columbus
Hope you get there. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings
Keep going, Chioma. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Lagos.
Hope the shop reopens soon. I hope November is when things finally get easier.
